Clean place and comfy beds. Also good location near bus/train stations and in center.
Maybe it was mentioned beforehand somewhere but reception was pretty much nonexistent. Tried to call 3 times to hostel number but noone answered. Got in contact via booking.com chat. They wanted to send photo of passport via email and to gmail of all email providers. I strongly suggest this place takes gdpr and security of personal information more seriously.

The location was optimal. I enjoyed Košice and thought the hostel was very nice, so I even extended my stay. The bed was comfortable, lockers were big and definite plus it was a separate standing one with a shelf. Bathroom and toilets were clean. Kitchen seemed to be well equipped and it had space to sit down.
As with any shared facilities, comes the other travelers which make it or break it for you. For me, my things were stolen from the fridge. There was also a man whom stayed basically 24/7 in the kitchen watching videos on his phone without headphones so I didn't feel comfortable really using it. However, I don't think the hostel itself was bad at all :) The pictures don't really do justice and the place is actually much nicer in reality.

Convenient location, always clean, great staff
No Aircon...this is absolutely unacceptable as per summer temperatures reaching to 37°c + amount of ppl per room releasing body heat. Apparently, this situation will be getting rectified soon. C'mon!!! Secondly, if the room is full and 1/2 of travellers are notorious snorers, making person awake and they managed to sleep like little babies...it is just not right! I know there are no set guidelines and rules for this but its about time the ministry of tourism should enforce / implement it for such facilities. It's just not right inconveniencing other travelers who pay the same as the snorrers... Thirdly, the mosquito nets are absolute must. Ppl are getting bitten and that is actually easy fix. Don't put this on traveller to buy mosquito repellent...invest and show you care.

Our task was to spend one night in Kosice near the train station, as we planned an early departure to Bratislava at 5 a.m. And the hostel was a good choice. The check-in was independent, as was the departure. We received detailed instructions from the hostel staff on how to enter the hostel and our rooms. In the kitchen there was an electric kettle, tea, coffee, sugar. Showers with hot water. Excellent Wi-Fi. I recommend the hostel for the price/quality ratio.

This is one of the best designed hostels I've ever stayed at. There are actually steps up to the upper bunks in the women's dorm, and two single beds. It's spacious and super clean everywhere. Towels are provided, and the ladies shower has a hair dryer. I was happily the only one in my dorm room. Registration is completed online and keys with lodgers' names are ar reception. Finally, the location is ideal, a 10 min walk to the train station and a short walk to the main square - perfect!

All good
I don't know what it was, but sleeping in room 7, somewhere near by , may be upper floor or apartment which is near there was a loud music from 2.00 till 5.00 a.m. well...not very loud but I was hearing it at night...all these bum bum bum at night doesn't help to have a nice sleep. May be talk to your neighbours. I had to get up early 😞. This is the first time when I have it. All the rest is perfect. It is not your fault.

Amazing little hostel, well proportioned rooms and i absolutely love the bunk layout where there are stairs in the middle it was like a loft scenario! Really clean and basically in the heart of the old town.
Not sure what other services run from the same reception but every morning downstairs at reception there was a line of 30ppl (men) out the door from 8am to like 4pm so there was never a chance to talk to reception to ask any questions.

It is in the city centre in walking distance to the main attractions of Kosice as well as train and bus station. I had twin bed room, it was clean and tidy. Nice common area with sink and microwave, with available mugs and cutlery also tidy. Guests seem to put to heart into the rule of cleaning after yourself, so many things depends on us. Clean common toilets and showers. Available hairdryer in the shower room, which is great. The staff are fantastic. Lovely and trusty people at the reception. Loved the aquarium at the reception as well! At the arrival I stopped and I was admiring calming underwater world :)
Not too much space between beds, but oh well... The extremly affordable price covered all downsides. A bit thin door, so remember to take ear blockers. Also the street seems to be busy at night, so earblockers are inevitable if you have the window on the street. After all you get what you pay for, so I woulds say it is very good value.

Property was clean and has a good location. They give you a towel, which is nice for a hostel. The check in is a bit unusual, you do not really see anyone after 1pm so I arrived around 3pm, got my key and left in the morning. Would be nice to get recommendations for what to do in town.
More contact with people and recommendations on what to do in town.

There wasn't breakfast. I liked its location it was near the city center. And also it was not so crowded, it was quiet. The WC and shower rooms were clean, there were towels provided. Kitchen was good, coffee, tea and other things were available, as well as a microwave, etc.
To be honest, I liked the hostel, it would be better to change the beds' location bcs people had little privacy sometimes. And also considering the services, I guess the price for a night stay is expensive. I paid less in Budapest for example.
